In this work we consider the current certification process of applications with physical human–robot interaction (pHRI). Two major hazards are collisions and clamping scenarios. The implementation safety measures in pHRI typically depends strongly on coordinates, e.g., to monitor robot velocity or predict external forces. We show that does not, general, guarantee a safe behavior. particular, un...

Nowadays serving robots are more and more popular in human society. However, most of them are designed for the special people or for the special scenario. There is little robot designed to apply appropriate interface for different people that can accommodate age-related and body-related in physical interaction. We propose that user-centered design should be used in physical Human-robot interact...

Sharing the control of a robotic system with an autonomous controller allows human to reduce his/her cognitive and physical workload during execution task. In recent years, development inference learning techniques has widened spectrum applications shared (SC) approaches, leading systems that are capable seamless adaptation their autonomy level. this perspective, (SA) can be defined as design p...

Toward the goal of robots performing robust and intelligent physical interactions with people, it is crucial that are able to accurately sense human body, follow trajectories around track motion. This study introduces a capacitive servoing control scheme allows robot navigate limbs during close interactions. Capacitive leverages temporal measurements from multielectrode sensor array mounted on ...

This review paper focuses on different aspects of perceived safety for a number autonomous physical systems. is major aspect robotics research, as more and applications allow humans systems to share their space, with crucial implications both its perception. The alternative terms used express related concepts (e.g., psychological safety, trust, comfort, stress, fear, anxiety) are listed explain...

Robots are finding new applications where physical interaction with a human is necessary: manufacturing, healthcare, and social tasks. Accordingly, the field of physical humanrobot interaction (pHRI) has leveraged impedance control approaches, which support compliant interactions between human and robot. However, a limitation of traditional impedance control is that—despite provisions for the h...

This paper conducts an experiment to investigate the effect of a physical constraint on a subject's viewpoint when using spoken language to navigate a robot. In addition, a robot navigation environment named Spondia-II has been developed for the experiment with an actual autonomous mobile robot. It is well known that the meaning of an utterance, such as a demonstrative pronoun, depends on the v...
